Andy, Blaz: It’s poison pill for N.Y.

ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo on Thursday slammed the House bill to repeal Obamacare as an “unconscionable piece of legislation” that will cost the state $6.9 billion.

Cuomo, in a statement released after the House approved the controversial measure, said “ultraconservatives in Washington” had pushed through a bill that would tear apart the health care system.

“Far from improving our health care, the Republican plan will strip millions of Americans of their coverage, raise costs for the sick, the elderly, and those with preexisting conditions, and penalize progressive states that protect the rights of women,” Cuomo said in the statement.

Cuomo also noted that the bill — known as the American Health Care Act — contains an amendment put forward by upstate Republican Reps. Chris Collins and John Faso that would shift the counties’ share of Medicaid outside of New York City to the state.

“Sadly, some representatives in New York have sold their vote and turned their backs on the very constituents they represent,” Cuomo said.

Mayor de Blasio called the legislation “cruel and inhumane.”

“If this bill becomes law, people will go sick, without getting the care they need. People will go bankrupt, families will go bankrupt because they won’t be able to afford their health care. And ultimately, people will die,” he said, warning that over 1 million people in the city will be at risk of losing their coverage.

State Republican lawmakers defended the measure.

“Acknowledging the ACA’s failures, the people’s representatives were faced with a choice — do nothing and watch millions of our citizens continue to be forced to buy insurance they cannot afford, or work together to improve a broken system,” Faso said.

“The AHCA will continue to protect essential health benefits and those with preexisting conditions. Children up to 26 years old can continue to stay on their parents’ health care plans,” he insisted.
